"Forty-ninern A flood of recollect:ons
enter my mind, both kindly and anus
ing, as | dwell on the many various
specimens of this KIND that | have met
with during my sojourn in the west.
There are three distinct classes. The
"Old-timers, " who have made a success
in life, and there are a large number of
! these, liberal-hearted men, who are pill
/ lars of strength in the territories. But
it is in the other two classes in which
! you find the fund of aneCdote and inter-
esHng characteristics which make the
''Old-timer" the pilgrims hero. 1t is
those who have made and lost the for
tunes which were so easily got in the
"palmy-days, and those who have
never made any great stake, but always
'just missed it,"
The first of these last two classes are
the men who suffered all the hardships
of the trip from Omaha to California,
and in the go went to Idaho and Mon
tana, undergoing almost marvellous ex-
perenccs, escapes from the Indians,
from starvation, and from cold; which
put into plain words in this day Of pal
ace coaches across the continent raises
suspicious that the imagination of the
narrator is getting the best of him.
But the old saying that truth is stran-
ger than fiction" was never truer than
in this case. Most of them lost their
fortunes by reCklessness, thinking
what was made so easily could be
made again. The most of these
men, therefore, possess those quail
tiles which redeem them from the
vulgar poverty of their present condi-
ton. The habits of years leave their
trace, and they will to-day divide their
last meal with the strang ger that comes
to the cabin door, and feel insulted if
payment is offered But how bitter
must his feelings be when he finds the
country settling up with large numbers
of people from the ''states, = TO whom
he is but tramp, and he finds himself
slowly vending his way to the poor
house. What a fall-from being the
honored guest at the honored board of
some more fortunate partner to be
pointed out as an object of suspicion
and a fit subject for the county COM
missioners' care. We who know treat
him all the more kindly, and to us he
unburdens his soul.
In the third class are found the witty
story-tellers, the men who spin the
yarns so taking to the youthful ear.
There are many smart, brainy men,
who, through some fatal lack in their
moral or mental make up, have never
been anything but roVers. And, hav-
ing a vast fund Of general information
and actual experiences to draw upon,
and with a vivid Imagination, can
weave fact and fancy into stories that
will hold the audience of open mouthed
''tenderfeet'' spellbound.
But they are going, and very soon
genuine, ''old-timer' will be thing of
the past They have filed a noble
place in the history of the United
States, and the present generation owes
much to the few who risked all that
the many could follow.
